No Kovalev comment expected today

According to the Ottawa Senators, Alex Kovalev is in Russia – no wonder he wasn’t at the Bell Centre rally yesterday! – and will be unavailable to comment today on his signing a two-year deal – for a reported $5 million per – with the Canadiens rival down Highway 417.

Hoping to hook up with him on a conference call tomorrow.

(Wonder which Canadien will pick up Kovy’s Bell Centre loge, the one he picked up from José Theodore, to host sick and underprivileged kids at Habs games?)
